Welcome to Glungezer!

Experience summer moments of happiness in the unique natural landscape of Glungezer. The Glungezer cable cars take you comfortably to the mountain station and to special mountain experiences every day. High above the Inn Valley, wonderful hikes await, such as the famous Zirbenweg, a breathtaking high trail that leads through the largest pinewood in the Alps and the highest botanical garden in Europe. The 2,677-meter high Glungezer summit rewards you on clear days with stunning panoramic views of 300 alpine peaks. Excellent huts and alpine pastures, such as the Tulfein-Alm, the Voldertalhütte, or the Glungezerhütte, the latter gaining increasing popularity as a base for several long-distance hiking trails (Via Alpina, Adlerweg, Traumpfad Munich-Venice, Glungezer&Geier-Weg, Olympiaweg, Zirbenweg), round off the authentic offering. www.glungezerbahn.at

A special highlight for children is the BALL FOREST at Glungezer - directly at the middle station Halsmarter www.kugelwald.at

WINTER SEASON (mid-December to Easter): Wonderful ski slopes, the impressive Tyrolean mountain world always in view - skiing in the Glungezer ski area means unadulterated pleasure on two boards in the greater Innsbruck / Inn Valley area. Well-groomed ski slopes surrounded by untouched beautiful nature, the magnificent wide view into the Inn Valley and on the peaks of the Nordkette - powder snow and plenty of sunshine - plus authentic hut charm - this is the panoramic ski area Glungezer, popular with alpine and ski touring enthusiasts. At Glungezer, there is one of the longest descents in Tyrol - with more than 15 km! Here, both young and old find plenty of fun in sports and nature. Rustic huts and a cozy restaurant at Halsmarter invite you to take a break. 

Panorama toboggan run Tulfein - Halsmarter: Pure toboggan enjoyment over 3 kilometers with breathtaking views through the winter forest from the mountain to the middle station
